This Day's Thought

The Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me, body and soul. I could feel the impression like a wave of electricity going through and through me. Indeed, it seemed to come in waves and waves of liquid love…like the very breath of God…it seemed to fan me like immense wings.

Charles Grandison Finney

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

This Day's Thought

If the Holy Spirit can take over the subconscious with our consent and cooperation, then we have almighty Power working at the basis of our lives, then we can do anything we ought to do, go anywhere we ought to go, and be anything we ought to be. Life is supplied with a basic adequacy. The conscious mind determines the actions, the unconscious mind determines the reactions; and the reactions are just as important as the actions. Many Christians are Christians in their actions—they don’t lie, steal, commit adultery, or get drunk; but they react badly to what happens to them: they react in anger, bad temper, self-pity, jealousy, and envy. When the depths are upheld by the Holy Spirit, then the reaction is Christian.

E. Stanley Jones

This Day's Verse

O my son, give me your heart. May your eyes take delight in following my ways.

Proverbs 23:26
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

God has not promised skies always blue,
flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God has not promised sun without rain,
joy without sorrow, peace without pain.
But God has promised strength for the day,
rest for the labor, light for the way,
grace for the trials, help from above,
unfailing sympathy, undying love.

This Day's Thought

Repentance is not self-regarding, but God-regarding. It is not self-loathing, but God-loving.

Fulton J. Sheen

This Day's Verse

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 13:52
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

A cold, self-righteous prig who goes regularly to Church, may be far nearer to hell than a prostitute. But, of course, it is better to be neither.

This Day's Thought

The baptism of the Holy Spirit, or regeneration, occurs when the sinner abandons himself wholly to Christ, in mind, heart, will, thus appropriating Christ’s imputed righteousness, and when, upon that surrender of the sinner to him, Christ imparts to the sinner the life of God, changing him from a carnal to a spiritual creature.

J. C. Massee

This Day's Verse

I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise; I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word. On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased.

Psalm 138:1-3
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

A spirit of thankfulness is one of the most distinctive marks of a Christian whose heart is attuned to the Lord. Thank God in the midst of trials and every persecution.

Billy Graham

If we follow the voice of God, we shall be brought on step by step into a new world, of which before we had no idea.

The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’

Lamentations 3:22-24

The Holy Spirit is our harpist,
And all strings
Which are touched in Love
Must sound.
